CHAPTER 1: GENERAL INTRODUCTION
1.1. INTRODUCTION

The aim of this study is to use linear programming to optimize nutrients intakes in human diet. Also this study aims to propose a cost effective one month diet for the various categories of the population .

1.2. STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
Observations show that eating habit of most persons of Huye district and other district like Huye are composed of poor diets which do not have the required nutrients. Also most of those persons have limited funds for food and other personal needs. On the other hand, mathematical techniques have been used successfully to optimize nutrients at minimum costs. The problem at hand is that mathematical techniques are not used to propose cost effective diets in Huye district.

1.3. OBJECTIVES
At the end of the study, we expect the following:
* To have a linear programming model and to use it to optimize nutrients intakes in daily human diet based on food stuffs sold in Huye Market
*...
